The 121th make no bones about the
fact that they're Battlegroup Valkyrie's elite fighter squadron. The unit was formed
nearly 10 years ago, just before the Border Worlds Conflict. The 121th was made up of
experianced pilots drawn from other squadrons, and originally assigned to the Circe
System. The squadron distinguished itself in the battle to control Circe, claiming over
two dozen kills for the loss of only three fighters. In fact, the name 'Reapers' was
originally coined by the Confed pilots who took such heavy losses at the hands of the
121th.

Since the Battle for Circe, the 121th has fought against the Kilrathi and the Black
Lance, as well as doing extensive patrol and peacekeeping duty on the frontier. They also
played a major role in fighting off the Kilrathi invasion of the Bush. This makes them one
of the most experianced fighter squadrons in the Border Worlds Navy, or in any navy for
that matter. The squadron has recently been expanded from eight pilots to eighteen. The
competion to join this elite unit was fierce, ensuring that only the best pilots were
picked, and making the Reapers even more more deadly in combat.

The 121th's pilots mainly fly space superiority missions. Their job is to hunt down
and destroy as many enemy fighters as possible, as quickly as possible, and as often as
possible. Lt. Colonel Rhodes keeps the squadron practicing their skills constantly, as she
knows there's no room for complacency. This makes the Reapers very good at what they
do, and the pilots are every bit as deadly and ruthless as their namesake. They're looking
forward to adding a lot more victims to their tally while serving with Battlegroup
Valkyrie.
